USSC and other setting info

[Jeremy6500]

FYI this thread has info about USSC/King/Ashley/American harvest setting. I did some searching for info and didn't find it, so I did my own experiment and am posting to help others. A couple of points:
1. My Stove is a AH6500. It IS NOT as stove. It is a furnace that is made to be hooked up to duct work. In general this means that that the air put out is lower in temp but higher in volume (mine had 2x800cfm blowers. please look at your stove and realize this is relative)
2. My unit is an older model and the intake is setup in a different way. If you have a different model that is a stove vs a furnace you can have a OAK. I recommend this if possible.

This is just data points to help you.

My stove/furnace info/settings:
1. Low pph feed rate set at 1.6
2. High pph feed rate set at 5

I took reading with my laser temp reading at the door, the plenum and the exhaust at different reading (PR1-PR3) after 30 minutes of running at each one..
PR2settings after 30 minutes.
1. Fire box temp on PR@ after 30 minutes

2. Med Bonnet Temp

3. Med Ehaust temp

Here are the PR3 tempd after 30 minutes at that setting.

3. PR3 Bonnet

My low feed rate is set at 1.6. My high rate is set at 5..0. My low draft fan is set at 125 and my high draft fan is set at 375. The idea us ti keep more heat in the burn chamber.

Here is my current stove and exhaust setup. Not saying it is good, just saying it is what I had when I bought the property 2 winters ago.

Draft dampener open 1.5”

Maybe this info can help some others who are trying to get their stove setting working. These seem to work well for me.

My only concern is the exhaust temp. It seems to be a little higher than I have seen on other videos
